George works as an office clerk and his office job pays him $12 per hour. Dorothy works as a cashier and her job pays her $11.25

per hour. Together, they worked 48 hours and earned a total of $555. How many hours did Dorothy work in her job?

You will need 2 equations, since there are 2 variables (hours worked by George and the ones of Dorothy), let's say x and y respectively

We know
x+y=48 (since they work 48 hours together) and
12x+11.25y=555 (since the sum of their respective hours multiplied by their salary gives a total of 555$)

To solve that, you can isolate either one of the variables and replace it in the second formula, for example:

x+y=48, therefore x=(48-y)
<span>Substitute x in 12x+11.25y=555 and solve for y (to find Dorothy's hours)
</span><span>12(48-y)+11.25y=555
</span>576-12y+11.25y=555
21=0.75y
y=28

Answer:

A. y=3x-10

C. y+6=3(x-15)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The given line is 6x+18y=5

Express this in slope-intercept form y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

6x+18y=5\\18y=-6x+5\\y=-\frac{6}{18}x+\frac{5}{18}\\y=-\frac{1}{3}x+\frac{5}{18}

Therefore, the slope of the line is m=-\frac{1}{3}.

Now, for perpendicular lines, the product of their slopes is equal to -1.

Let us find the slopes of each lines.

Option A:

y=3x-10

On comparing with the slope-intercept form, we get slope as  m_{A}=3.

Now, m\times m_{A}=-\frac{1}{3}\times 3=-1. So, option A is perpendicular to the given line.

Option B:

For lines of the form x=a, where, a is a constant, the slope is undefined. So, option B is incorrect.

Option C:

On comparing with the slope-point form, we get slope as  m_{C}=3.

Now, m\times m_{C}=-\frac{1}{3}\times 3=-1. So, option C is perpendicular to the given line.

Option D:

3x+9y=8\\9y=-3x+8\\y=-\frac{3}{9}x+\frac{8}{9}\\y=-\frac{1}{3}x+\frac{8}{9}

On comparing with the slope-intercept form, we get slope as  m_{D}=-\frac{1}{3}.

Now, m\times m_{D}=-\frac{1}{3}\times -\frac{1}{3}=\frac{1}{9}. So, option D is not perpendicular to the given line.
